Therapists use a variety of tools to help newcomers and those formerly sober folks who felt the need to do some additional field work. One therapist I know likes to use the concept of the AA “Askit Basket”, adapted to a mixed group of alcoholics and other addicts, where participants put anonymous question slips into a basket or jar, and then the group uses them at random to stimulate discussions. With the permission of the group, she passes the anonymous questions on to me, and I try to craft explanations for a wider audience.
Lately there have been a lot of questions about sponsors and sponsorship, so I thought I’d devote a couple of posts to questions about that important subject. Read more at the blog…

What...Me Sober? 
I think that was a terrific way to find hope dunrig a time when life can be very dark in a parent’s life. I will be speaking to a group of recovering young people soon about a book I have written on our family’s journey through my son’s alcoholism. Fortunately he is in recovery and has been sober almost two years, but there were some very challenging days as his mom while he was in the thoes of his addiction. I, too, looked for any and all rays of hope glad you posted this idea!
